Electrical work building notice

People carrying out electrical work in homes and gardens must follow building regulations rules on electrical work in order to reduce the number of deaths, injuries and fires caused by faulty electrical installations, as well as to make it harder for ‘cowboy builders’ to leave electrical installations in an unsafe condition.

If you do not get the necessary certificates, the electrical installation might not be safe. You will have no record of the work done and as a result you may have difficulty selling your home.

If you are carrying out electrical work in your property and are unsure what to do, visit LABC website for more information.

When submitting an application to us, you will need to prove that you are employed a suitably qualified electrician.

Please check our fees and charges before applying. You will need to enter the fee payable into the online form, and then pay using our online payment system once you have submitted your application.

Please read our building notice of electrical work guidance notes and our privacy policy before applying.
